April Lust Have It (My First)

Lust have It was posted very late in the month. So most of us didn't actually get it until May. I was one of the lucky ones who got it the first week of May, but others didn't receive it until the second week. I don't think that's good business practices. If all the other boxes can manage to get their boxes out in the month their supposed to, why can't Lust have it? Beauty EDIT manages to get it to me before the month even starts!

Lust Have It came in this cute bag, wrapped in bubble wrap and straight in the plastic post bag. Not the best way of presenting things, but certainly not the worst :)

I rather liked the gorgeous product card that came with it! The picture on it is just adorable. It's something you can stick on your wall and look at afterwards.

Bronzer and Lip/Cheek Stain

Conclusion:

We were given a choice between the Glamourflage primer and the lip cheek stain. I chose the lip cheek stain. I'm not all that impressed. It does come in the cutest little box, but it's hard to apply with a brush similar to a nail brush. Why not use a roll on? You need to rub it in for it to dry, which then leaves you with a red finger as well which has difficulty washing off with soap. It is sticky on your lips even when dry, but it tastes so delicious that I just can't help but want to keep, licking it off! Lol. It doesn't have a smell to it. Not something I would buy, simply because it's too difficult to use and I have another lip stain that I adore.

There was a bit of a hiccup with the Claytime bronzer. We were promised a full size, and it even says full size on the product card, along with 10g. The item we received was not 10g, therefore it was not perceived as being full size . Both Lust Have It and Claytime released a statement regarding this, and it turns out there was a miscommunication, and the item we received is a limited edition just for Lust Have It. I wasn't entirely happy with the way LHI handled the situation by waiting for everyone to ask about the product difference, rather than communicate the difference as soon as they realised there was a weight difference.

Onto the product itself. It's highly pigmented, so that's a plus! However it does have a shimmer to it so it's not really a winter product, it's more of the summer 'sun kissed glow' type look. Because it has the shimmer I can't use it as a contouring product, so I'll have to wait until summer to really use it. But because it is highly pigmented, it is something I would consider buying again.

The Bioderma Atoderm Cream I found a little to go a long way which is always wanted in a moisturiser. It absorbed into my skin pretty fast, but I did find it a little oily. I think that's because it's designed to put a protective layer over such dry skin, but I don't like moisturiser that is oily. It did instantly make my hand feel much softer though. But I don't think it's something I will be buying.

I love the Wotnot Facial Wipes For Oily Sensitive Skin. I received the original version in a previous box, and loved the original, so I knew I was going to love these too. They did smell a little odd though, I'm going to blame that on the combination of the grapefruit and papaya. I love makeup remover wipes because it makes it so quick and easy to take makeup off after a long night where you just want to sink into your sheets, and Wotnot just make it so easy! They don't dry my skin out, they get rid of the oil and makeup with only a few wipes. Something I will definitely buy more of.

The Aveeno Daily Moisturiser Lotion absorbed into my skin fast, and like the Bioderma, a little went a long way but I think it goes a little bit further than the Bioderma. The Aveeno range comes in a few different ingredients but this one features oatmeal. This didn't feel oily to me at all, and I'd be more inclined to buy the Aveeno than the Bioderma. Both are fragrance free.

Overall I think this box is a bit of a dud. After going onto their blog I'm seeing that the bag it came in is meant as a cute cosmetic/toiletry bag while flying as it fits into the size and see-through regulations, not having one of those I guess that's a plus. Now I'll have to plan to fly overseas somewhere just to use it :p hehehe. I'm not too keen on keeping my LHI subscription (there's other boxes to try!) but I can't judge a subscription on one box either, here's hoping May Lust Have It is better!

The next box includes a Mary Kay lip colour, which we were given the choice in colour between a nude and a pink. I chose pink. I look forward on seeing the colour and trying the product.
